C.A.S.A. Events Diary

This page provides information about our forthcoming events, all of which do require pre-booking and are open to non-members, usually at a 2 Euro surcharge. We normally include an allowance for gratuities, where appropriate, in our prices.

The first section shows the current events for which bookings can be made now via any committee member (contact information provided in the latest Club Newsletter) or via the form on the 'Contact Us' page.

Please note any 'last booking date' shown for an event, if none is shown then we need to receive bookings by 7 days before the function.

Driving directions to the venue and a road map will normally be added about 10 days before each event.

The final section contains advance information about future events which are still in the planning stage - details may change - significantly!
